Default The right paper?

I've been using Transjet II transfer paper doing mostly white and light color shirts. I've been trying to do colored shirts using Transjet II for dark colors but I occasionally encounter the problem of the transfer rolling up at the edges as I'm laying it on the shirt. It's VERY flimsy.Should I change paper or is there a technique or gadget that will assist with the flimsiness?

Is there Transjet II for darks? I thought it is only made for white and lights.

Anyway buy a silicon cookie baking sheet/pad from a department store. Lay it on top of the transfer to keep the transfer flat. Pre-press for 5 seconds to set the transfer on the shirt. Remove the silicon sheet and finish pressing.

For darks, I place the parchment over top and then my teflon sheet, that holds the paper down well. Good luck.

Wax paper can't be used because the 'wax' will melt.
Reynolds now has parchment paper that they sell in the stores. My store also has there brand.
